Healing Together

A place to slow down, learn across difference, and practice care, so we can heal and lead together.

Healing Together centres community care and education to build intersectional knowledge and solidarity among Black, Indigenous, and Racialized women and gender-diverse youth. Through themed care spaces, leadership workshops, and learning sessions, we name systems that harm us and practice ways to heal in community.

Through curated and thematic community-care opportunities and educational workshops, this program works within and among our communities to help us learn about and heal from systems of oppression that harm our communities and our relationships with each other.

This program consists of multiple streams. Scroll down to learn more!

We host roughly three sessions each month, one from each stream, organized by a monthly theme (for example, Disability Justice: a learn session, a lead workshop, and a heal gathering).

Heal • Lead • Learn

How it works:
 Heal

Gatherings for community care and collective healing, Chai Chats, creative activities, meals, and gentle spaces to connect and restore.

Lead

Skill-building workshops that offer practical tools and pathways to challenge oppression and practice anti-oppressive leadership in real contexts.

Learn

Education sessions that examine how systems show up in our lives and how to identify, name, and challenge them, growing shared language and awareness.

Heal and Lead spaces prioritize Black, Indigenous, and racialized communities. Learn sessions are open to all for broader education and allyship.

  • Community-care spaces that honour multiple identities and lived experience.

  • Practical leadership tools and resources you can carry into your work.

  • Shared learning that deepens understanding of racism, oppression, and their intersections.

Healing Together builds cross-cultural learning and solidarity to counter anti-racism and hate, supporting active allyship, movement ties, and the collective reclaiming of space.
We approach this work with a trauma-aware, culturally responsive lens, including practices like shared cooking and land/plant-based activities that restore access to community-building forms disrupted by colonialism.

Healing Justice means we all deserve to heal on our terms… and confront oppressive systems that get in our way… a reminder to social movements that action must also support self-determination, interdependence, resilience and resistance.”
